Vast Sea Immortal City.

The members of the Fengg Family felt like they were living in a dream, a fantasy beyond belief, over the past few days.

Fengg Sihai could hardly believe any of it was real, for when he brought his family across vast distances to the outskirts of Vast Sea Immortal City.

According to Fellow Daoist Long's instructions, after handing the jade scroll to the city guard, only moments passed before a white-robed Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Steward personally came out to meet them.

And with only a few words, arranged a place for the Fengg Family to stay in the Inner City.

Fengg Sihai began to doubt reality, never imagining that one day the Fengg Family could move into such a grand Cultivation City, and even settle in the inner area.

This was something many families could never achieve in a lifetime.

Moreover, the personal reception by Lvu Liang left everyone in the Fengg Family awe-struck and honored.

"Ah! It seems Fellow Daoist Long's true identity is not a mere cultivator! His cultivation is evidently far higher than we imagined," Fengg Sihai exclaimed after moving into the new residence.

Until one day.

He saw the three words "Long Daoist" on the Foundation Establishment List posted at the gate of Vast Sea Immortal City, with an illustration of a familiar bearded man next to it.

"Ranked third in Wei Country Cultivation Realm's Foundation Establishment List: Long Daoist!"

Gasp—

Fengg Sihai drew a sharp breath, feeling overwhelmed, "I never expected Fellow Daoist Long to hide so deeply, being a senior at the Foundation Establishment Stage."

"And indeed a top-tier Foundation Establishment cultivator."

...

Two months later, the Beast Tide had arrived at the Spirit Nest Islands.

On Wangyue Island.

The low-tier spiritual herbs that Qin Ming had previously planted matured, and after harvesting these crops.

Seven [Ripening] entries appeared instantly in his mind.

Then he approached his Lifebound Spirit Plant Longevity Vine, consuming these seven entries to ripen all the demon flowers on it.

Three days later, three golden entries caught his eye:

[Name]: Longevity Vine [Entry]: Weak Lifespan X5 (harvestable)

[Name]: Longevity Vine [Entry]: Leaf of Space-Time X5 (harvestable)

[Name]: Longevity Vine [Entry]: Strong Purity X5 (harvestable)

After harvesting all the black spirit fruits from the vine, three blue leaf entries appeared in Qin's mind.

He first utilized the [Weak Lifespan] X5.

Instantly, a power of time descended upon Qin Ming, extending his lifespan by fifty years, reaching over 550 years of longevity.

Qin Ming was only forty-two years old; with more than five hundred years left, he could outlive a Golden Core Ancestor under normal circumstances.

Next, he used five [Strong Purity] entries, refining the liquid mana in his Mana Lake several times over.

His internal mana became increasingly pure, surpassing the quality of the mana held by those talented Foundation Establishment cultivators.

This purification would greatly aid him in the future when breaking through to the Golden Core Stage, where purer mana means a smoother process in Condensing Pill.

Then.

Qin Ming approached the two Tier Three Spirit Plants Spirit-Transforming Demon Grass, and upon the newly grown demon grass, he used a [Leaf of Space-Time] entry.

In a split second.

The Spirit-Transforming Demon Grass began to grow frantically, blooming and fruiting within days, and after summoning a swarm of bees for pollination, it bore three earthy-yellow Spirit-Transforming Demon Fruits.

Soon, a dazzling golden entry appeared in Qin Ming's sight:

[Name]: Spirit-Transforming Demon Grass [Entry]: Spirit Vein Enhancement (harvestable)

Just like last time, Qin Ming used a small jade knife to carefully harvest the three spiritual fruits.

A [Spirit Vein Enhancement] purple leaf entry peacefully appeared within his Sea of Consciousness.

Qin Ming's lips curled into a smile, "As expected, a purple leaf entry."

Without much thought, he used the entry on Wangyue Island.

Rumble—

At the moment Qin Ming used the entry, a mysterious power descended upon his Wangyue Island.

After observing with divine thought, Qin Ming discovered deep within Wangyue Island's spirit veins emerged a mushroom-like Spirit Marrow Sumeru Taisui.

As it absorbed Spiritual Qi, it periodically excreted some Spirit Ore Marrow, continuously nourishing and strengthening the spirit vein core.

Qin Ming clearly felt, as more and more Spirit Ore Marrow was produced, the Tier Two Middle-Grade Spirit Vein on Wangyue Island slightly enhanced, pushing towards a high-grade level.

"According to the entry's description, feeding this Spirit Marrow Sumeru Taisui spiritual materials can accelerate its growth, hastening the spirit vein enhancement."

With this in mind, Qin Ming took out the Cyan Simurgh Sword, creating a passage directly to the Spirit Marrow Taisui's resting place.

Half an hour later.

Qin Ming gazed upon the watermelon-sized pink mushroom mass, pondering: Is this the Spirit Marrow Sumeru Taisui?

Then, he retrieved numerous spiritual materials from his storage pouch, most looted and acquired through battle, yet to be dealt with.

Without a care, he threw them all to the Spirit Marrow Sumeru Taisui before him.

Upon devouring these spiritual materials, the Taisui's body instantly expanded several times over.

Beneath its body, it began rapidly producing a vast quantity of Spirit Ore Marrow, integrating it into the spirit veins.

Shortly thereafter.

The concentration of Spiritual Qi in the air dramatically increased, and the spirit vein beneath Wangyue Island's main peak instantly rose to Tier Two High-Grade.

"Still not enough!"

Qin Ming gazed at the Spirit Marrow Sumeru Taisui, then opened his storage pouch, tossing over a large bag of Spirit Stones, totaling over ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

After devouring these Spirit Stones, the Taisui's body writhed wildly, swelling and growing into a small fleshy hill, reaching three zhang in size.

Gurgle Gurgle!

The vibrant Five-Colored Spirit Ore Marrow, exuding astonishing spirit essence, poured forth from the Taisui at an astonishing rate, merging with the spirit veins.

The quality of the spirit veins on Wangyue Island began to climb rapidly.

Boom!

Finally, an immense aura of Spiritual Qi spread out from the main peak, radiating in all directions.

Qin Ming immediately felt that with each breath he took, the Spiritual Qi on the island suddenly elevated by an entire level.

The dense Spiritual Qi continuously erupted from the Spirit Vein, dispersing into the surrounding air.

Such astonishing changes made the island's Spirit Plants unfurl with joy, eagerly absorbing the Spiritual Qi.

"The Tier Three Low-Grade Spiritual Vein is complete!"

Qin Ming's face showed intense excitement as he noticed the Spirit Vein within the island had grown significantly.

"The Profound Turtle Sea-Covering Array is a Tier Three Middle-Grade Grand Array."

"I'll try to elevate it to a Tier Three Middle-Grade Spirit Vein."

Qin Ming immediately gritted his teeth and fed a large amount of spiritual materials to the Spirit Marrow Sumeru Taisui, and also threw in a thousand Middle-Grade Spirit Stones.

Suddenly.

After absorbing so many spiritual materials, the body of the Spirit Marrow Sumeru Taisui transformed into a flesh mountain of six zhang in size, discharging a large amount of Spirit Ore Marrow, which then merged into the Spirit Vein of Wangyue Island.

Half a month later.

As expected, the Spirit Vein environment of the main peak of Wangyue Island was elevated to a Tier Three Middle-Grade level.

Qin Ming originally wanted to see if he could enhance the Spirit Vein to a Tier Three High-Grade.

But no matter how much Qin Ming fed it afterward, the Spirit Marrow Sumeru Taisui no longer grew.

It seems that it reached some kind of limit, and if it were to advance further, it might require using the legendary High-Grade Spirit Stones.

After all, it corresponds to a Tier Three High-Grade Spirit Vein.

Nonetheless, elevating the Spirit Vein of Wangyue Island to Tier Three Middle-Grade, Qin Ming was already extremely satisfied.

Now, the core site of Qin Ming's cultivation on Wangyue Island was a Tier Three Middle-Grade Spirit Vein environment. The outer main peak Spirit Fields were in a Tier Three Low-Grade Spirit Vein environment, and the area under the main peak had all turned into Tier Two High-Grade Spirit Veins.

Underneath Wangyue Island.

The people of the Wu Family were busy farming, but they were surprised to find that the aura environment on the Spirit Island was gradually changing over time, as if Spiritual Qi was reviving.

Even the area they were in elevated step by step from a Tier One High-Grade Spiritual Vein environment to a Tier Two High-Grade level!

"What's happening?"

"Why has the island's Spiritual Qi increased so much all of a sudden?"

"Could it be Fellow Daoist Qin..."

Wu Jiang was full of doubts, but when he arrived at the base of the main peak, he was utterly stunned!

"A Tier Three Spirit Vein environment!"

Feeling the thick Spiritual Qi, he was completely dumbfounded.

"Fellow Daoist Qin... What on earth happened on the Spirit Island?"

"Why did the Spiritual Qi environment change so drastically?"

Qin Ming smiled warmly at Wu Jiang and said, "Fellow Daoist Wu, I have good news for you!"

"Just recently, I accidentally discovered a hidden Tier Three Spirit Vein deep within our Wangyue Island!"

"Due to some special reasons, this Spirit Vein hadn't revealed itself."

"A few days ago, I used some special means to fully guide this Tier Three Spirit Vein out."

"From now on, whether we cultivate or grow Spirit Plants, it will be like a fish in water."

"Hahaha!"

After saying this, Qin Ming happily patted Wu Jiang on the shoulder.

"Is this for real?!" Wu Jiang was in disbelief, feeling an inexplicable joy that was hard to describe in words.

He was engulfed in ecstasy, never imagining that one day, the Wu Family would be able to cultivate beneath a High-Tier Spirit Vein.

"Cough! By the way, about the discovery of the Tier Three Spirit Vein on the Spirit Island, don't spread this around yet, and make sure your family members keep quiet to avoid unnecessary attention," Qin Ming advised meaningfully.

Wu Jiang hurriedly nodded like a pecking chicken, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Qin, I understand this."

"Good, then."

"Your Beast Fang Rice is almost fully planted, and the Spirit Vein environment on the Spirit Island shouldn't go to waste either."

"I will sell you the Spirit Seeds of the Tier Two Spirit Plant, Five-Colored Spirit Rice, to try cultivating and planting them."

"Once it matures, I'll charge the usual thirty percent Spirit Field rent. How about that?" Qin Ming suddenly thought of something and then asked Wu Jiang.

Wu Jiang was overjoyed to hear this and quickly nodded in agreement, receiving a small bag of Five-Colored Spirit Rice seeds from Qin Ming and subsequently took out the corresponding Spirit Stones to pay Qin Ming.

"The Five-Colored Spirit Rice is unlike Tier One Spirit Plants; it is quite difficult. You should be prepared for long-term failures."

"This jade scroll here contains some insights from my previous experience growing Five-Colored Spirit Rice, take it and study it," Qin Ming naturally hoped that Wu Jiang would successfully plant the Spirit Rice to ensure rent collection.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Qin!"

Wu Jiang gratefully accepted the jade scroll, making it seem as if he saw an infinitely bright and glorious path unfolding slowly before him.

Growing Spirit Rice to bring glory to the ancestors!

...

Within Wangyue Lake.

The Profound Water Crocodile that was napping seemed to sense the immense change on the Spirit Island. Its massive body transformed into a dark golden stream of light, diving into the Spirit Island and climbing underneath the Longevity Vine, starting to cultivate with the help of the Tier Three Spirit Vein.

And Qin Ming's Lifebound Spirit Plant, the Longevity Vine, provided with the Tier Three Middle-Grade Spirit Vein environment, stretched its tendrils, growing even more lushly, as if it was breathing on its own.

"The changes are quite profound!"

Then.

Qin Ming took out the set of Tier Three Middle-Grade Array, the 'Profound Turtle Sea-Covering Array'. According to the deployment method from the jade scroll, he spent three days encircling the entirety of Wangyue Island, laying down a Tier Three Grand Array with the Tier Three Middle-Grade Spirit Vein at the main peak's core.

Suddenly, the array merged with the mountains, rivers, and lakes, forming its own domain!

Buzz～

In the moment when Qin Ming planted the last array flag.

On the main peak, a surge of Spiritual Qi shot skyward, pouring into the turtle shell-shaped Array Core.

Above Wangyue Island, a vast golden light curtain suddenly descended, resembling a gigantic turtle shell enveloping the entire island, with countless runes swimming on the surface of the shell, exuding astonishing power.

"The Tier Three Grand Array is complete!"
